Commonwealth Day 2006

I almost forgot. Today is Commonwealth Day. Click here for a message from HM Queen Elizabeth II. The theme this year is health and vitality, and it's refreshing to hear the Queen discuss the challenge facing hiv-positive citizens of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is a free association of 53 countries, comprising approximately 30 per cent of the world's population. Member nations include the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and Singapore. Click here for a graphical listing of Commonwealth nations by flag.

Hush! Do you hear that? It's Old Saint Vic come to our chimneys with bags of presents for good Commonwealth boys and girls. None for you, Americans! Just lumps of BBC low-rating comedies on PAL VHS tapes.
